Southroyd Primary and Nursery School has maintained its ‘good’ standards of education, Ofsted inspectors have said.
Inspectors praised a strong sense of community and belonging at the school, based off Littlemoor Crescent in Pudsey.
“Pupils thrive in the beautiful school learning environments, inside and outdoors,” the report states. “Staff know each pupil very well and take good care of them. As a result, pupils are happy and safe.”
There’s also praise for a ‘broad and ambitious’ curriculum, pupils’ ‘exemplary’ behaviour and the work in nursery and reception classes.
The report adds praise for the school’s leadership and staff: “Teachers have strong subject knowledge and present information clearly. They use high-quality resources to support learning. Pre-topic tasks help pupils to devise their own questions. This gives them ownership of their learning. Pupils rise to teachers’ high expectations and achieve well across the curriculum.”
Some pupils, who are at the early stages of learning to write, are given work that is too challenging for them and the report notes this needs to be addressed.
